Sir:
I have to advise you that on the list of Invalid Pensioners of the Massachusetts Agency in the report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835, whose residence and other information could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of papers in the War Office in 1800 and 1814, appears the name of William Gaine , a private of the Revolutionary Army. He was pensioned at the rate of $ 60 per annum from March 4, 1789 under the Act of June  July 7, 1785.
There is no further data on file relative to this pensioner as the papers in such claims were burned in the War Office.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
This man's name is in Mass. S + S as Mr Gains
